Weapons use in Inquisition are quite different from the rest of the series.
Weapons no longer require attributes to wield, instead they require players to reach a certain level. If found, weapons will be either common, uncommon, rare, or unique. They can either be found in the world, received as a reward for quests and war table operations, or crafted. Weapons in Dragon Age: Inquisition are the basis for combat in the game.
